The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology.
Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish.

Introducing the 2026 NLA Lipid Scholarship Program (LSP) Class!🎉
This year, we received a record 178 applications — more than double last year's 84 — a testament to the growing demand for advanced lipid education.
These 15 exceptional clinicians and trainees will spend the next two years deepening their expertise in lipid management across cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine, and preventive care.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!👏
